How To Put Bootstrap And Posterior Probability Values Together In The Same Phylogenetic Tree?

How should we put bootstrap and posterior probability values together in the same phylogenetic tree like the following one? Thanks a lot!

I think those pictures are professionally done. I had previously edited trees in power point to put both branch support values.
There is a similar question here: What is a good phylogenetic tree display program for large data sets? Maybe few of these suggestions may work: A: What is a good phylogenetic tree display program for large data sets?

I didn't generate the tree in power point. MEGA lets you export the tree as editable lines and text, which can be easily customized in power point (coloring/adding text/collapsing). For eg., http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/276/figure/F4 (we used just power point saved as PDF here)

We use Inkscape for our work. There is a small learning curve, but you can produce high-quality, publication ready images quickly. Gimp is a strong alternative as well.

A recent published paper (Published online: 22 July 2016), The mitochondrial genome map of Nelumbo nucifera reveals ancient evolutionary features, use ggtree to visualize bootstrap value inferred by RAxML and phyML in the same tree.

A lot of such trees can be found in supplemental file. Annotation task like this can be very easy to achieve by ggtree .
